because they hate us.

ibut the best part of this is that i found alts meister and grimlock (which effing rule if you didnt know) out of nowhere after a 10 month drought of alts in my town. and they for some reason rang in as energon basics so i got them for 9 bucks a piece. best tf luck ive had in a while.

 

I think Wal-Marts in Canada still have their Alts for $9.92 or something.  Well, that's what the tag on the shelves still say.  No more Alts around here though, which sucks...  (I checked at like 5-6 Wal-Marts within a 10-mile radius from here)

Hate us? I doubt it. Dislike us greatly? Possible.

 

1.) Adults make a mess of the toy aisles. I've seen children actually put the items back the way they are. (Ironic, no?) Especially teens. They're disrespectful little Afterburners.

 

2.) TF's aren't selling as well as you'd think. Metropolitan areas have no problems, but small to midsize cities don't actually sell well. (Take my town for example, waves 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 and nothing's selling. And that wave 2.0? Scouts. No Deluxes, Voyagers, Ultras, Leaders, or Supremes past wave 1.)

 

So yeah, it might actually become more difficult to find these pieces if the stores actually stop ordering, or order less because it's too much of a hassle to carry and stock 'em. I can see both sides of the arguement.

 

Oh and I hate teenagers incase you didn't know. Little punks tore through toys and left figures discarded all over the floor and when I stared them down they said "What are you lookin' at fat ass?" I said "4 headstones, Idiot, Moron, Retard, and Dickface. Which one wants to be buried first?" They looked at me with their mouths agape and just backed off slowly like a scene from a movie. It also didn't help their situation when my girlfriend had to hold me back once they lipped off. :D

I've had the price thing happen to me, but they don't usually argue with me about it. If I tell them that it's a certain price, they usually just punch that amount in. If not, their manager is bound to get an earfull or more. I usually let them know that up front.

well i work in a restaurant. and no matter how pissed i was at the retards who order Blot ive never done anything of the sort. and once again i was being polite. even after waiting a half hour, i would have been perfectly content if it resulted in me getting the leobreaker. i would have just shrugged it off. tomorow im going back and talking to the general manager. but its just not enough. i could say ill never shop there again. they dont care. it wont effect their sales at all. in spite of what people say, anything i do wont make a difference. short of torching the place. but me just refusing to shop there, just puts me out another resource for finding tfs locally. and there arent many to speak of. so ill just sit here and be pissed.

 

you don't tourch a wal-mart to destroy it, you break the mirror in the back of the electronics dept. :tflaugh  :tftongue (South Park)  but seriously, I never had this happen to me but i can honestly say " you won't like me when I'm angry..." I become a force of nature when I don't get what I wan't. i know: inmature but who ever said I was mature?(joking) I pity the soul who blocks my buying of Primus. I WILL get someone fired if this happens but it never will probaly because I'm a very tall person. additionaly I always give "The Glare" at the register.works like a charm. garenteed.

Hey! I'm a teen! I don't do that kind of stuff! no honestly, I never have. I always put the stuff back the way it was. "like you were never there" that's my motto. I hate people like that though. If I was there with you I would have gave you some serious backup. I may look geekish but I've done a decent amount of damage to several unfortuanete vandals like that at a local wal-mart. they'll never breath through their noses for the rest of there lives.

Lemme get this straight, they'll actually refuse to sell you something cause they can't find the price? That's retarded. Besides Hasbro's has those different price points so they wouldn't have to check the price. I think the a**hole at the counter wanted it himself so he screwed you.

Same has happened to me, cept with Star Wars and not Transformers luckily. Last March I was down south and was in a Wal-Mart and this was maybe about a week or so before the Ep. 3 figures were released and they had them all out on the shelf. So I grabbed the ones that I want and took them to the register and they wouldn't scan and the checkout lady was retarded (literally) and didn't know what to say or anything so I just left them and walked out with only an Alpha Q. lol

it happened at zellers here in canada, i bought red alert and they couldnt find the price so i told them it was a deluxe sized fig for 14.99 and they told me "THEY have to check" it cleared through eventually but i mean its so easy just to go look and compare then deal with crap like that

they were on sale at walmart near me for 9.00 i bought hound (there were 9 of them and one silverstreak) but i think thats for clearance reasons hound was the only one i liked because he has is and always was a jeep (plus hes been on shelves since forever
